A very effective tactic I use is try to send your leader as fast as you
can 
in the computer's territory, then build one maontain by clicking
repeatedly
on the same spot... this destroy a lot of its castles, without not much
mana.

Moreover, sometimes it wants to fight back and level your land, just
elevate
another one, you will be able to out-mana it...

This tactic has allowed me past worlds I tought impossible to win.
